I wish my Internet was fast enough to block that many communities.
Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all

Keep at it, if curating All is what you want. That’s how I use this site too, and so far I’ve blocked over 900 communities - it has made All SO MUCH better.
You’ll burn through the redundant communities.
Just don’t try to do it all in one go - hit a few on each scroll and it’ll add up without being a very noticeable effort.

Internet speed shouldn’t make that big a difference in a site like Lemmy. If you’re on mobile, consider trying an app (or a different app if you’re already using one). If PC, maybe a different browser? I use Firefox, at about 50 mbps according to www.speedtest.net - lemmy loads up nearly instantly.
Another option is to use filters instead of blocks. I don’t know of a way to do it on PC, but many mobile apps support filters. You’ll have to find the right balance of being broad enough to zap all the redundant communities, but specific enough to not zap the unrelated ones that you might be interested in seeing. IMO that’s more effort than just blocking, but if internet speed is a barrier, that would make for a good plan B.

Yeah, well, not everyone lives in an ideal situation. Fuck me, right?

If you’re not able to try different apps, browsers, or filters, you do appear to be fucked.

I wish there were giant lists of related communities and an easy way to import them as blocks. Want to block all sports team communities? Here are all 1,000 of them. All the anime communities? Here are all 90,000,000 of them.

Community tags would enable that. Vice versa, it’d make those kinds of groupings easy to find and subscribe to for those interested.
